Guess we better stop breathing too, someone from France may have breathed the same air... Don't forget to make seperate water fountains, bathrooms, seats on the bus, and restaurant entrances for French people...

Dozens of readers have written in asking for a list of French companies products to boycott. After all, some are well known, but many are not. Here goes.

The gang at FrogWeenies (www.metrospy.com) notes: "France's behavior in front of the UN has been disgraceful. Their attempts to block, veto and prevent the US lead military action in Iraq does not promote peace, it simply reinforces the will of tyrants and terrorists."

It lists French products to boycott. You will probably be surprised to learn the French own everything from Wild Turkey to Car &amp; Driver to Motel 6 to cheesy Spencer Gifts to disgusting Democrat schlock-show host Jerry Springer.

Note: The French do not own the the Fina gas stations in the U.S. or Fina Lubricants USA, which as an American company should be supported. People have written in that Grey Goose vodka is French, but FrogWeenies writes, "After a thorough check of the brand, we are confident Grey Goose is an American brand, owned by an American company." People have sent NewsMax more reports of French companies, and if we can confirm them we'll post them.

P.S.: Thanks to GOP lawmakers, cafeterias in the U.S. House of Representatives will today start offering "freedom fries" instead of you know what.

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I don't know if You are making a joke, but I think drawing a comparison to segregation is a stretch. I think it is perfectly reasonable to choose not to buy products that support a country that does not support ours

This is only my opinion, but many of these companies have branches or divisions in the US and Canada which employ many of our citizens. If the products from these companies were strictly imported from France and not actually made in our countries, I could see your reason for boycotting them. At this day in age it is hard to find a large company that does not own other companies in other countries, or is owned by a company from another country.
